Great food! Always served hot and fresh. It's usually really crowded and noisy here if you come during lunch or dinner rush. So loud that you can hardly hear the server or the person sitting next to you. They have live bands sometimes on weekends and special events. Service is kind of lacking during slow times and have to ask for items several times as the server forgets you are there. But it's usually a good time here, just not a great place to come if you don't like noise. The play the music really loud most of the time. Today i ordered from the specialty menu and they didn't put green bell peppers in my carnitas even though it is listed on the menu as bell peppers and onion. Also the slice of cheese was a lot smaller than i anticipated ( see photo ). If i would have known beforehand they called a sliver of cheese a slice i would have asked for queso as it needed a bit of something. The flavor was lacking i believe and the missing bell pepper just threw the meal off to me. I didn't say anything but they wanted to charge 2.50 more if i wanted a small side of cheese so i just said never mind and dealt with what i had. I guess i know not to come here when it isn't busy anymore... i felt like they gave us the food and forgot about us, the server was nice but it's annoying to have to ask for things more than once when they are not busy. I wont be coming back here for a while. Today, we were the only customers here besides one other couple on the other side of the restaurant. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, and certainly don't make the effort to login to multiple platforms in order to do so, but this experience warrants passing along for the safety of future customers. Friday night I sat at a table with 9 other friends for dinner/music. Our checks were all inflated at the end of the night with drinks never ordered/served. We paid, thinking each of us were paying for the majority of our table... but discovered we were ALL overcharged. ****One person in our party became very ill after merely 3 beers, at 6'2" and 225lbs, had to be carried out and reports feeling drugged!**** Luckily, friends were around to quickly detect sickness and drive him home. We asked to review security footage from the night before and gave account of our night to the manager on duty Saturday morning. His lack of concern indicates a dangerously apathetic level of commitment to the safety of his patrons and the integrity of his staff. Police report is being filed, charges WILL be disputed and we will not return to Del Rio. Many friends and neighbors have come forward and reported nearly identical experiences; and one can only imagine how much worse this could have been if someone much smaller and/or alone had been the victim. I've worked in a LOT of bars, restaurants and clubs in the Atlanta area, but Del Rio Management's reaction to this type of report is a first for me. Stay Safe: Avoid Del Rio. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DEL RIO. The food is great and is nice. But it sometimes is way too loud, and older people get mad if you go to the live band. Sometimes the service is a bit too slow. Other than that I think it's a great place except for Friday nights. read more

Wow !!! First time visiting such a pure atmosphere. Servers are really nice food came out fast !!!!! You really could dine for a couple hours and forget the time fly by ! Real house made salsa with chips ! I ordered tacos (to go) and burger and fries to dine in. I was impressed ! read more

Been going here for years and this place is great! Love the La Lancha and wings. There is a server named Jose Luis and he's the best server we've ever had and we ask for him every time we come in. He's very friendly, personable, and respectful. It's always a good time when Jose Luis is working! read more

Not sure why the poor reviews- I've always had a wonderful experience coming here. Most recent experience was on a Sunday afternooon. Service and food came out quickly. My boyfriend ordered the Molcajete and HIGHLY recommend! Delicious and reasonably priced for the portion. The food is reasonably priced for the amount of food, in general. Overall, would definitely recommend! read more

I am honestly so disappointed in this place. The food lacked flavor and the server barely checked in on us. The food is rank, gave us the check without asking if we wanted to order dessert. Server showed she was upset because I did not like the food and there was barely a dent made... so it is obvious it was not enjoyable. read more

This was my first (and last!) time visiting this lovely establishment. I was dining alone (hubby was traveling) so I sat at the bar. When I walked into the bar area it was hard not to notice a group of 5-6 very loud individuals on the one side of the bar so I went to the other side to create a little distance. As I sat down, one of the older gentlemen from the loud side of the bar approached me and in the slurring stumbling effort asked me if I was married. I quickly said yes in hopes that he would leave me alone. Then he proceeded to ask me why my husband was not with me. I ignored him and didn't make eye contact (not that he could see straight). He eventually went back to the other side of the bar but proceeded to harass me very loudly from across the bar. He approached me another time slurring "why are you mad at me?" I ordered hoping he would stop but he didn't. When I got my food I ate a small amount and asked for a container and the check. I can't even comment on the food because I didn't even get a chance to eat. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. The most disappointing part of this horrible dining experience is the bartender and owner did nothing aside from continuing to serve these individuals who were clearly over served. I should also point out that I arrived at the restaurant at 5:30pm so it's not like it was late. Sort of sad when the drunk and stupid have more rights than a civilized customer ... he should have been tossed out on his ass. I sure hope this man that couldn't form full sentences was not driving. I'll take my business elsewhere so I can actually enjoy my meal. read more

This place is awesome!! Food is top notch and they have live music. Or you can hang at the bar and watch a game. Employees like Sonia make your trip there impeccable!! She is so kind and takes care of you 100%. She is there always making sure she's got you covered from beginning until you leave just another way to say you're going to love coming here!!! read more

Went friday night group of friends . After I ordered my 4 beer half way through I could barely stand or walk. Then the waitress overcharged about 80 dollars in drinks that we did not have. Other people at the table got charge for drinks they did not get. Went to management next morning told him what happened and had him pull the tapes to see who could have drugged me. Kind of hard to see because of half the table. Told me he would have her call me when she in at 4. Never got a call. But after talking to other friends and people who go there. Told me that 2 band members were drugged up there, few weeks ago. There is a creepy man that hangs out at the bar and stares at folks at night.,apparently he's a local....But I believe the police should investigate the fraud and drugging.. read more

The food was mediocre at best. I didn't enjoy any part of it. Service was also sub-par. I do not recommend this.

service 15 out of 10!!! absolutely love the new bartender! Perfect balance of friendly & attentive!! read more

Had a great experience here. The manager Jorge even came and greeted our table to make sure everything was correct with our order. Super nice place and I definitely would come back read more

It's very frustrating to try and support local restaurants when they can't fill a regular menu item. Not to mention the delivery cost. I ordered the Lalanche that didn't have the cheese sauce. So disappointing. Who's running the kitchen??????? read more

Excellent food. We ordered carry out, so don't know about service and do not know about ambience.

My family and I have dined at Del Rio for years. Most of the time the service is good. The food is always delicious. This evening I placed a Togo order. The young guy that I spoke to seemed confused. I repeated my order three times. He read the order back to me. My husband picked up the order and it wasn't close to being right. I called back and spoke to the same guy. I explained that I was missing part of my order. I told him again three times what I needed. When I got back to the restaurant my order was ready. The problem is, wasn't what I ordered. I asked to speak to a manager. Kimberly came out and asked what was the problem. Again I explained what took place. She never offered an apology. I found her unprofessional and rude. After all that took place, one would think she would have comped the food. Or at least apologize. I have in my adult life worked In some type of customer service, including restaurants. I understand mistakes but I also understand the need to make things right! read more

We came in with 6 adults and a toddler. Our waitress was kind and took our orders promptly. This was early evening on a Saturday. We didn't have a wait and the servers put together several tables in the bar area for us to all sit together. I had the chicken soup and it was amazing!!!! Who knew to order chicken soup?? I have a gluten intolerance so I verified the soup and fish tacos were both something safe for me to eat ( they used soft corn tacos) . I ordered a frozen margarita . There was small, medium and large. I chose the medium and it was HUGE!! I can't imagine the large ! The staff here was really good and everyone seemed to enjoy the food. We will be back!! read more

Very rude and unprofessional establishment, got my order wrong and the host started to swear at me and tell me to go elsewhere. It's the guy with blonde hair. Do not recommend! Stay as far away from here as possible. Also they didn't realize I spoke Spanish and heard every racial slur they called me read more

Food was mediocre. Enchiladas had very little ranchero sauce . Service was slow and almost non existent. Went on Sunday at 530 and business was slow . Ambiance was nice and quiet without a lot of customers. Not usually a good sign. Doubt I will go back. read more

This is our local Mexican close to home. We just moved back to Dacula and have been here several times in the past 3 months. Everything we have gotten has been good. I thought the pastor was a little boring but I just would not order it again. The steak here is very well seasoned. I also loved the steak wrapped Poblano pepper. This was such an amazing meal just typing it I want to eat it again. My usual go to is the fajitas. My son loves the nachos of any kind, especially the volcano ones (barbeque) and he usually gets tacos of some sort. Everything is good and service is good. Gets busy during peak hours on the weekend but you can usually get in without waiting too long. read more

Rating a little higher than I should but I think many of the 'bad' reviews are a bit unfair . . . Stopped by on a Friday night and was not disappointed. Hours - The website and info online says they close at 10pm on Friday but the place was packed after 10pm. Maybe the kitchen closes at 10pm. Live Band - was pretty awesome. Country music and it was good. People dancing and having a good time in the bar area. The dining area was quieter so you can enjoy a conversation while eating if you are in that area. Very well done balancing the music and dining area. Service was ok - it was busy but the servers had a lot of inefficiencies and forgot things, like water, silverware, drink refills, etc. Server and Menu both remind you that food can take some time to come out so please be patient. Nice touch but better to also check on the guests WHILE they wait. Food - La Lancha which is grilled chicken and shrimp, covered with cheese. Yeah it is as delicious as that sounds. HINT: get the cheese on the SIDE use it to dip the super amazing chips into instead of ordering the cheese dip. Plus you can control how much cheese you want on your meal. Perfect for the lactose intolerant . . . also get a side of the corn tortillas, it is perfection. The chicken is overcooked so you need cheese or salsa to eat it alone, the tortillas with avocado, lettuce, and whatever makes it delightful. Camaron Poblano Asada which is a poblano pepper filled with melted cheese, shrimp, mushrooms, pico de gallo, and chipotle sauce wrapped around carne asada steak. SPICY depending on the poblano pepper. The server will remind you too, which was nice. Ours was SPICY and it was delightful. the steak was a bit dry but spicy from the poblano so it was pretty good, even if you can't eat the pepper, its good. read more

Several things wrong here lately... First of all, if you pay your check with cash, don't expect to get the correct change back. Management supports servers rounding the amount of change they bring back and servers keeping coins. The manager justified this by saying that many servers don't bring in a bank. Not our problem. They charge a dollar each for the smallest sides of sour cream, tomatoes, and condiments I've ever seen. We ate there last week and ordered 20 wings. We got 18 on our plate. Not sure how tough it is to count wings when you're charging almost a dollar or more per wing. And when I called to speak to the manager about all of these issues, he interrupted me every time I took a breath to speak. I couldn't finish any of my sentences, and he justified every single one of these issues. If you choose to eat here, count your wings, count the change they bring back to you, and be careful of what you order. read more

The experience was amazing! The food came out super fast and the staff was amazing especially my server Ben. 5/5 would recommend.

Had to come back and update my review since I actually dined in this time instead of takeout, and had an amazing experience. This place is so close to my house and I will be visiting often. Prices are fair, portions are huge, drinks are strong, and food is good! We visited around lunch time so we ordered Steak Fajitas, and a speedy Gonzalez combo, pair with some Margaritas! They weren't as busy so service was fast. Although it took them some time to come take our order, after they got it, food came out pretty fast. Everything tasted fresh, and well seasoned. The place in general was super clean and I love their decorations. Everyone wore masks, and we felt safe! ESPAÑOL Tuve que volver y actualizar mi reseña ya que en realidad cené en este momento en lugar de comida para llevar, y tuve una experiencia increíble. Este lugar está tan cerca de mi casa y lo visitaré a menudo. Los precios son razonables, las porciones son enormes, las bebidas son fuertes y la comida es buena. Visitamos a la hora del almuerzo, así que pedimos Steak Fajitas y un Speedy González, emparejado con Margaritas! No estaban tan ocupados, por lo que el servicio fue rápido. Aunque les tomó un tiempo venir a tomar nuestro pedido, después de que lo recibieron, la comida salió bastante rápido. Todo estaba fresco y bien condimentado. El lugar en general estaba súper limpio y me encantan sus decoraciones. ¡Todos llevaban máscaras y nos sentimos seguros! read more

Slow service with sticky menus and tables. Food was burnt. Not the worst but shouldn't be anyone's first choice. Waitress brought the check before even asking if we wanted anything else. Seemed much nicer to other customers. read more

my favorite Mexican restaurant been going here since I was a kid. I love it my favorite and in the area they just redid it in the inside. Looks great. The food is wonderful and the service is always good. read more

This one was a little tougher to rate, I've been coming here for years and they great for the most part; usually a 4-5 star overall, but I have to rate based on each visit. We ordered Cheese Dip w/ Chorizo, Veggie Burrito, Cheese Steak Burrito, Chorizo Taco Pros: Good atmosphere, and service, the beer is always cold and most of the time the food is some of the best Mexican food in the area. The Cheese Steak Burrito & Chorizo Taco were good, the cheese dip was good too but could have used a little more Choizo but that's probably more of a preference. Cons: I ordered the Veggie Burrito and was pretty disappointed. It was all onion & green pepper with a smattering of mushroom & squash; t was supposed to have spinach too (First Ingredient Listed), but they left that out. So, basically it was a meatless fajita burrito. This seems to be common when you order veggie anything at most Mexican restaurants, it usually comes out all onion and bell pepper. My score would be a 2 star for the burrito but 4 star for everything else so I gave them a 3 overall. I'll keep coming back because this place is very good! read more

Customer beware--do NOT order from here EVER! Choose any of the 10 other Mexican restaurants in the area. They don't receive what you put in through the app, and you'll end up with a completely wrong order. We placed an $80 order, and not only did they mess up our items, but they also gave us frozen roasted salsa TWICE. When we called to fix it, the manager, Jordan, hung up on us THREE times, and then insisted that "the cooks poured it fresh" even though it was clearly frozen. He offered to send us a video of the process but then backed out, and when we asked for a refund, he told us we'd have to come back for a THIRD time. The app is full of glitches, and their customer service is a joke. My family will NEVER be back, and the only reason this place isn't a complete disaster is because of Sonya--she's the only one who actually knows how to treat customers. She deserves a better job. read more

They advertised a halloween costume contest on Facebook. We dressed up and came out. They decided at 10pm there wasn't enough people and did not have it. The prizes were only cheap gift cards. They refused my request for a refund. What liars read more

food is horrible. seems like microwaved/ frozen food. as a hispanic i wouldn't recommend coming here. overpriced horchata. our server was nice though. read more

Food had changed and gone streight down hill. The manager (she) was also rude and abrasive just a really unhappy person. She must be tired of people complaining on how bad the food is. It took 90 min. from sitting down to getting out. It seemed like most tables noticed the change and were disappointed in the food quality. I will not be back. It went from ok semi good to just plain bad with the new change is not good. The cheese taste like it came from powder. Avoid pricy and bad. I gave it a two star to be generous. read more

The new online menu is disappointing. Salsa is off the menu so if wanted extra to go forget about it. Burrito choices for beef are non existent. Who was in charge of this disaster?? honeslty. I was going to order togo yesterday and changed my mind and went somewhere else! read more

Food was terrible, service too forever (almost 2 hours for 3 people) One person order was completely wrong, my shrimp taco had a 6inch hair in my taco. I told the waitress and she laughed and walked away. Wouldn't recommend, we will NEVER return to this crap excuse of a restaurant. 0 stars. What a joke! STAY AWAY!! read more

Bad service and food. The waiter didn't write down our drink or food orders for 6 people. Getting the drinks was tiring since it wasn't brought out on a tray. Everything was hand carried out in 2's. Then we waited for a very long time to put in our order. Once we finally got the food, it was incorrect. We had given the restaurant a 2nd chance because the service was horrific last time we went, but we thought maybe they just had an off day. You just lost 6 customers for life. Husband is allergic to mayonnaise and said no to any sauce. He got his sandwich, and it had sauce on it when he specifically said "no sauce." So, he then had nothing to eat. My daughter said her food was incredibly bad. Wish she had told me while we were there so we could have taken that off my father's bill. read more

Today I tried to eat dinner with my family at this restaurant and we were unable to do so due to the three men vaping in the bar section.

First time here. March 7th. Sat at the bar and ordered wings. Wings were pretty good and the margaritas were good too. We were playing Keno and the bartenders were shorting the game wins. It's a good thing GA Loto has an app to check the wins so you can call out the dishonest bartenders. Both bartenders were in on the scam. I wonder if the owner knows the bartenders are on the take. If they're stealing from the customers they're most likely stealing from the establishment. My opinion read more

Came to see a band. They were really good and there was a lot of space to dance. Drinks and guacamole (chose chunky) were good

My daughter and I ubered to your restaurant the night of Cinco de Mayo. We planned to have some drinks and didn't want to drink and drive. We have lived in this area for over 20 years, and have dined at Del Rio numerous times, as well as placing many delivery orders. We knew it would be busy, but I wanted to take my daughter out to celebrate the end of her college semester. We put our name on the wait list, and I sat in the one seat left at the bar while she stood behind me. She's a bartender, and we saw how busy they were behind the bar, so we were patient. After 10 minutes or so, I noticed the bartenders were taking orders of customers that had come up behind me. I tried to get the attention of one male bartender, and he said something I didn't understand, but I think he was just making drinks for the customers at the tables. That's fair. There were also two women behind the bar, neither that ever made eye contact with me or acknowledged me in any way for 40 minutes! From time to time, I saw another woman behind the bar, and I got her attention, but she told me that wasn't her section. There was a gentleman sitting next to me that had obviously been there for a while because he had 3 drink cups stacked up along with an empty bucket. In desperation, I asked him if he could help me get the attention of one of the bartenders. He tried. The one bartender that walked around the entire time with a credit card clenched in her teeth said she would come back, but she never did. It was like I was invisible, and I've never experienced anything like that in my life, including at the busiest bars in Atlanta! It was incredibly insulting! My daughter and I took another Uber to a different restaurant where the bartender took our order, and though she was busy, kept up with us. I waited tables when I was in nursing school, and both of my adult kids are servers/bartenders. We all tip very well, and our bartender tonight got 50%. I'm appalled at the way I was treated at Del Rio tonight, read more
